Can be reproduced easily with Cosmic kernel, patch works as expected. A
test kernel could be found here:

Will try this on Bionic next.

I don't recall seeing a soft lockup at all, not a related one anyway.
Sadly I don't have a specific command but I did find it triggered when:
1. Memory is overcommited. It doesn't have to be heavily overcommitted.
2. I/O is very high.
3. I “leave“ an SSH session, releasing a small amount of
Hello Ken,
do you have a command to reproduce this? I would like to use it to
verify the fix.
I tired this on a Cosmic KVM allocated with 2G ram, 512MB swap, with:
* "zswap.enabled=1 zswap.zpool=z3fold zswap.max_pool_percent=5
zswap.compressor=lz4" added to the grub
* z3pool, lz4,
Fix available in upstream:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ca0246bb97c23da9d267c2107c07fb77e38205c9
It can be cherry-picked into B/C
It's already landed in Disco as Ken mentioned in #13

As an aside: I'm seeing much better system response time using zRAM
alone than I am using zswap alone, but this may have improved in the
newer kernel. In both cases though I am using KSM and THP which clearly
improve memory use.

As above: this should be fixed in Disco, though I have only just
switched to the upstream kernel for testing, I suspect that
Jagannathan's testing is correct.
This is a very serious stability issue in the Ubuntu kernel and really
should have had some sort of interaction here by now. It is
